What a great book!
I find this book excellent for day to day use. It explains very simply how to perform almost any procedure a VN does but also more importantly WHY you do it that way.
It’s format is in 12 chapters:
Handling and restraint
Measuring clinical parameters
Medical nursing procedures
Administration of fluid therapy
Provision of nutritional support
Anaesthetic procedures
Theatre practice
Surgical nursing procedures
First aid procedures
Diagnostic imaging
Diagnostic laboratory techniques
and Treatment of exotic species.
At the start of each chapter is a list of all of the techniques described in that chapter, making it easy to find what you are looking for quickly and hopefully before the animal has escaped!
The exotic species chapter proved very useful to me. Not being mad keen on exotics, I was reasured by the explanations on how to restrain, inject, take samples from and monitor the anaesthesia of such animals.
This book is definitely a must when you’re completing the portfolio, but extremely useful for every day use for both student and qualified VN’s.

Has great step by step guides and explains why you do each step eg setting up a drip, restraning animals, folding a gown and more complicated things

I like that this book tells you a step by step process of how to do the procedure but also includes why each step is done.
